Loyle Carner has kicked a fan out of his gig for shouting sexist comments at a female support act.

Video from the night at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, shows Loyle saying: "You gotta go, for being sexist, you gotta go."

The fan had reportedly said something about the support act's breasts.

After the show, the rapper tweeted, "That **** will not be tolerated at any show. He's been banned from that venue, for life."

This is the video that shows what happens.

Mercury-nominated Loyle can be heard giving a description of a male fan to his security team and saying he needs to "learn his lesson" for being sexist.

The crowd then began cheering.

And his actions have gone down brilliantly with fans.

In reply to one tweet, Loyle said the man had been "banned for life" from the venue.

A statement from the University of East Anglia to Newsbeat says it has a "zero tolerance approach to sexual harassment" and it will "take action" when its policies are breached.

The rapper's not the first to take action against fans who go too far.

In August, Architects singer Sam Carter, stopped a gig in the Netherlands after he claimed to see a woman being groped whilst she crowd surfed.

In the past, Loyle's spoken to Newsbeat about dealing with his ADHD and how he helps run cookery courses for teenagers who also have the disorder.
